If you show me yours, I'll show you.....

..... some of my favorites.

I was thinking about Charles Bukowski, since Moodwalker brought him up in a post.....

"Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must live."

So I thought I'd ask... what are some of your favorite quotes, lines, lyrics, sayings?

I'll let someone else go first.

Ohhhhhh... I know a few....
I'll just start off with one....
(from the movie Outlaw jossie w. )

"" Dont Piss down my back and tell me its raining "" !

"Don't give up, don't ever give up" - Jim Valvano at the Espys ceremony

"This is isn't funny!!! Why, we're fighting for our lives out here!"- Joe P a lifelong racetracker after someone laughed at his anger over losing a photo finish for 8000 dollars.

my dad always tells me that he can accomplish anything with 'a little brute force and ignorance' and he's pretty much right.

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

~if anybody knows the movie I'd be impressed
but words to live by indeed

No idea, but it kinda reminded me of a Hunter S.Thompson line...

"I wouldn't recommend sex, drugs or insanity for everyone, but they've always worked for me".

An ancient Chinese proverb that reminds me of Ace.....
Failure is not falling down but refusing to get back up again.

From Life of Brian... every line in the Pontius Pilate scene.

Here are some that I like;

“All roads lead to the same place”
My father, when accused of being lost while driving the family somewhere.
I always thought it was cool and only later on figured out that by “ same place” he probably meant “wherever you are going”


“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall”
Ronald Reagan, great leaders say the right thing, in the right manner, at the right time. Reagan did it many times but this is my favorite.


“Lucky is the man who is the first love of a woman,
but luckier is the woman who is the last love of a man”
Unknown, but I think there is some truth to it.

"Saddest thing in life is wasted talent" - A Bronx Tale (great movie)

"2nd place is just the 1st loser" - Heard George Steinbrenner say something to this effect once.

"Hey, why don't you go f#ck a rolling donut" - This old guy Frank I used to work with would throw this line out there when someone pissed him off. Classic lines used to come out of this guy's mouth on a regular basis.

"Illegitimi Non Carborundum," ... Never let the b@stards hold you down.

"you cheat a race horse in the feed box, he going to cheat you on the race track" I have used this line on the Vice President of Engineering when we are negotating wages.
